Human-Wildlife Conflict & Coexistence
Case Studies

The IUCN SSC Human-Wildlife Conflict & Coexistence Specialist Group in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations has developed a set of case studies with the aim of covering the process projects have taken to understand, plan and address various aspects of a human-wildlife conflict situation. The case studies can be downloaded below and will be linked with the IUCN SSC Guidelines on Human-Wildlife Conflict and Coexistence.

Coexistence with large cats: experience from a citizen science project

Developing and evaluating a beehive fence deterrent through stakeholder involvement

Fostering coexistence through a poverty reduction approach

Building communities capacities to coexist with wildlife

Developing an insurance scheme to mitigate the impacts caused by wildlife

Building institutional and local community capacity to manage human-wildlife conflict

Building sustainable capacity to manage impacts between humans and wildlife for different stakeholder groups

Developing a community guardian programme to reduce livestock depredation

Using a conflict framework to identify the correct problem to manage

Understanding animal behaviour patterns for long-term solutions to human-wildlife conflict

Planning for human-wildlife coexistence

Alongside the production of the case studies, we held a series of webinars as part of our Learning in Practice Webinar Series which provided an opportunity to link theory of principles in human-wildlife conflict engagement with practical experience and insights from projects on the ground.
